Another useful feature of the GPSMAP 185 Sounder is the sounder zoom, which

allows you to instantly “zoom in” to look at a specific portion of the sounder display

by using the either the C or D key. The sounder zoom function is divided into

four display levels:

• 2X Split Screen––Shows two reduced-size sonar pictures at the same time. The

top half of the display screen shows the complete sonar picture at its original

scale. The bottom half shows a portion of the original picture at 1/2 depth

scale.

• 2X Full Screen––Displays the 2X zoomed picture on the full GPSMAP 185

Sounder screen and does not show the original scale picture.

• 4X Split Screen––Shows two reduced pictures, with one at the original depth

scale and one at 1/4 the original depth scale.

• 4X Full Screen––Displays only the 4X zoomed picture on the full GPSMAP 185

Sounder screen.

Once activated, the zoomed picture becomes the sounder page display. Note: the

zoom function can only be deactivated by pressing the D key until the original scale

picture appears. Pressing Q will not turn off the zoom function.

The zoom function operates in either auto zoom or manual zoom. Auto zoom will

follow the bottom contour while manual zoom will display the selected depth.

To access the sounder zoom function:

1. While viewing the sounder page, press

C

once. The 2X split screen will appear.

(Note: the current zoom scale will be displayed on the status bar at the bottom of the

screen).

2. Continue to press

C

to advance to further zoom screen levels.

3. To deactivate the sounder zoom function, press

D

until the original scale picture

appears and a triple beep sounds.

For more on the zoom function, see pages 27-29.
